North Korean hacking group Kimsuky is reportedly developing AI tools that can run locally, enabling automated cyberattacks while evading detection, according to a South Korean firm Genians.
A report by NDTV Top reveals that the North Korean hacking group Kimsuky is developing artificial intelligence tools that can operate locally, allowing automated cyberattacks that are harder to detect. The tools, linked by South Korean cybersecurity firm Genians, enable the group to run AI models on compromised systems without relying on external servers. Kimsuky has a history of targeting government and corporate networks worldwide, and the new AI capabilities could increase the speed and sophistication of its attacks. Cybersecurity experts warn that local AI execution reduces the digital footprint, making attribution and mitigation more challenging for defenders.
